A short 19th-century magazine item on the Thibet (Cashmere) goat and the shawls made from its wool. It reports the introduction of the goat into the United States by Dr. J. B. Davis of South Carolina, and its spread to Tennessee. It also covers shawl prices, the debate over whether genuine Indian shawls are woven in pieces and sewn together, French and Paisley imitations, and wool yields per animal.
